Daisy Morning came too fast and worse? I hadn’t slept properly, not really. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again, the steam, the water, and the way he had said my name like it meant something dangerous. My body had gone still just remembering it, heat curling low in my stomach before I could stop it.I had almost gone to him.That was the part that wouldn’t leave me alone. Almost. In all my life I didn't think I actually possessed this level of self control. The thought made my grip tighten slightly around the fork in my hand, even though I hadn’t used it yet. The dining hall stretched wide and elegant around me, sunlight pouring in through tall windows, and catching on polished surfaces and turning everything gold.It was beautiful,too beautiful and calm,like last night hadn’t happened at all. A maid had come to get me earlier, soft spoken and careful, guiding me here like this was routine. Like I belonged sitting at this long table, dressed in clean clothes, pretending I wa

Daisy The word desire didn’t just sit between us. It didn't want to believe it, but the more I fought the word, the deeper it sank inside me It coiled low in my stomach like something alive, something dangerous, and something that didn’t ask for permission before making itself at home inside me.My breath came out uneven as I stared at him, my back still pressed against the shelf, his body still crowding mine, his presence still too much.“You can’t be serious,” I said, but the words lacked bite. They sounded thinner than I wanted them to.Caspian didn’t move. If anything, something in his expression sharpened, like he’d been waiting for me to say that.“Oh, I am,” he murmured and my pulse spiked.“No,” I shook my head, pushing against his chest instinctively, even though I barely created any distance. “That’s not a solution. That’s just….”“Effective.” The interruption was immediate and my hands stilled against him.“You want the bond with him gone?” he continued, voice low, cont

Daisy Waking up felt wrong. It wasn't exactly painful, but I felt heavy, like my body had been dragged underwater and only partially pulled back up again.For a few seconds, I just lay there staring at the ceiling, trying to remember where I was, why my chest still felt tight, and why exhaustion clung to me so deeply.Then it came back all at once.The library, the pain and Caspian’s hands gripping me while the world split open inside my ribs.My breath caught as I pushed myself up too quickly, but instead of agony, there was only a dull ache beneath my skin. It was faint and lingering, and I hated that I quickly understood what it meant.The bond was still there, but this time,it felt a little bit different. It wasn't raging anymore, nor was it clawing at me from the inside like before. It had settled into something quieter, something deeper, and somehow that frightened me more.Because now it felt rooted, almost permanent even. I swallowed hard and glanced around the room prope

Daisy. By the next morning, I had a plan. A terrible one but the way, which probably explained why I liked it so much.If Caspian wanted distance, then fine. I was done letting him control it.The realization had settled sometime around three in the morning while I lay awake for the fourth night in a row, staring at the ceiling and thinking about the way he looked at me before forcing himself to leave.He wanted me, that wasn’t a question anymore.It was a fact, fact that made my guilty pleasures harder to satisfy. No matter how much I used my fingers against my clit, nothing could match up to the real deal. I wanted him, I needed him, and if he thought avoiding me was going to magically make this easier for either of us, then he was even more delusional than I thought.So I decided to test him, just a little.At breakfast, I ignored the massive stretch of empty seats and sat directly beside him instead.The reaction was immediate.Caspian’s hand tightened around his coffee cup

Daisy I felt weird waking up. It wasn't painful or disorienting exactly, just wrong in a way I couldn’t immediately explain.I stared at the ceiling for a long moment, blinking slowly as soft morning light spilled across the room in pale streaks. My body felt unusually relaxed, and heavy beneath the blankets in a way that almost resembled actual rest, which made no sense.I hadn’t slept properly in days.My brows pulled together faintly as I shifted against the sheets, and that was when I noticed it.The scent.My breath caught slightly when I realized who it belonged to.Caspian.It lingered everywhere, deep and warm and unmistakably him, soaked so thoroughly into the sheets around me that for one irrational second, I thought he was still here, but the bed beside me was empty.I pushed myself up slowly, my heartbeat quickening as my gaze dropped to the rumpled mattress. The sheets were tangled badly enough to suggest two people had slept here, not one.“What the hell…” Confusion
